I moved Pwireless2 installation folder to /usr/share/pwireless2 and in that process in all files
from that package replaced /usr/local/Pwireless2 mentionings with /usr/share/pwireless2.

Perhaps, the above changes might have effected pwireless. You might want to look at this again.

simargl... yes, i can connect with pwireless... to get all available networks in your area, you have to click "roam"... then click "refresh"... then, log onto your respective wireless network... to get your IP to show, you have to click "roam & refresh" again... (Note: these buttoms are at the bottom of the pwireless screen)

sometimes, you have to repeat the above steps a couple of times... but, it always works.

yr1945, can you please confirm if this is in version 8? I am able to do all that in version 7 but not in version 8 .

If someone is interested in trying old DOS and Win3 games in DosBox, with but Win3.11 transformed to look like XP follow links bellow...

Since several versions ago, DOSBox supports running Windows 3.x inside itself. This way, you can run old Windows games via DOSBox - things like Stars!, Zombie Wars (etc.), which no longer work normally (if at all) on modern versions of Windows.

Calmira is a complete 16-bit shell that lets you manage files, launch applications and control tasks. It brings Windows 3.1 up to date with some of the advanced user interface enhancements from the Windows world, and for most people, provides welcome relief from the awkwardness of File Manager.

After reading that udev now does automatic mount of devtmpfs to /dev, I made a change in rc.sysinit to remove that line where it was done "manually". On later reboot sound did work but volumeicon from tray disappeared, and alsamixer launched from terminal reported something like "missing mixer device".

On hard disk I have a copy of the original Woof, and relevant part for this is bellow

Code:

#101119 new /sbin/pup_event_backend_modprobe, these must be deleted every boot...
rm -f /etc/modprobe.d/alsa_card*.conf 2>/dev/null
touch /etc/modules/firmware.dep.inst.${KERNVER} #make sure exists.
rm -f /dev/ttyUSB* 2>/dev/null #101210 may have been left there if modem plugged in at shutdown.
rm -f /dev/mixer 2>/dev/null #110113 make sure removed, see test in /etc/init.d/10alsa.
rm -f /dev/snd/* #110304 after a reboot, some of these may be wrong.
mkdir /tmp/rc_sysinit #101210 for logging into.
mkdir /tmp/pup_event_backend #101210 for logging into, see /sbin/pup_event_backend_modprobe.
mkdir /tmp/simple_network_setup #101216

Anyway, I removed previous line from alphaos rc.sysinit, now everything seems OK, just wonder is there some explanation why /dev/mixer and /dev/snd are removed on boot in original Puppy.

Also there is new line added to show when udev daemon is started during boot, commands are executed strictly by the book (lfs)

simargl... yes, i can connect with pwireless... to get all available networks in your area, you have to click "roam"... then click "refresh"... then, log onto your respective wireless network... to get your IP to show, you have to click "roam & refresh" again...

yr1945, can you please confirm if this is in version 8? I am able to do all that in version 7 but not in version 8 .

Indeed, yr1945 can you please confirm that you are running 8?
I can also connect using 7 but not with 8.
Let me explain. With 7 I have to install rfkill and run 'rfkill unblock all' whenever it boots up.
That's for enabling the wifi-radio that otherwise keeps complaining that it is blocked by software.
Then I have to reset wpa_supplicant and then Pwireless2 can connect to the wifi network.
I can do most of this with 8 but when I enable the wifi-radio it can actually find wifi networks and it asks me for the password but then it says the password is incorrect when I know it is perfectly fine.
Cheers

the initial screen showed no wireless networks... i clicked "roam"...a few seconds went by before "roam" completed... still, no wireless connections... i had to click "refresh" two times and then i saw my wireless router... (however, if at this point you don't see your wireless router, keep clicking roam/refresh, eventually, you will see it).

after logging on, it still indicated no connection... i clicked roam/refresh and it showed me connected... but the screen at bottom right still did not show an ip address... i clicked roam/refresh and the ip address appeared... note: you may have to click "roam" then "refresh" or... "refresh" then "roam"... just keep clicking until you are connected and your ip address shows up... this process is cumbersome, but it does get you on the internet.

Hi simargl and all,
Attached is frisbee network connecting tool, copied from Barrys raring puppy. Test it by expanding it and manually copy the files to their respective places in alphaOS 8. A menu entry should appear under 'internet".
I am able to connect to internet (both wifi and wired) in alphaOS 8 using this but not with pwireless. Sorry yr1945

PS.
I haven't learned how to package it as a .pkg.tar.xz file for easy installation. I also know ppet is not officially endorsed in alphaOS hence the absence of a .pet
Cheers.

Good news is that eudev was not problematic after all, and wireless connection issues many had were pwireless fault.

Now pwireless2 package can be replaced with frisbee. I think you made this package on FAT32 or NTFS partition because everything has permission 777. I'll fix that and upload source here http://sourceforge.net/projects/alphaos/files/sources/, then use it to make a package for next version.
